THIS LADY
Lora, our helper, peered on the door while Kristoff and I are laughing together over that funny stuff he was talking about.
“Kristoff, there is a visitor downstairs,” she told him. She then turned to me with the eyes of a concerned mother. I smiled at her, assuring her that I am fine now.
Kristoff suddenly stayed still, frozen and I don’t know how to describe his facial expression. Was he nervous upon hearing that?
I looked at him as he sighed to collect his cool. I know there is something wrong.
“What’s wrong?” I finally found my guts to ask.
He shook his head as he stood up and walked down stairs. I watched him as he hesitantly moved to the door. He is not like this.
There is something wrong. I don’t really like it when he is acting this way. It’s like he doesn’t want to share his problems. Doesn’t he know that it’s making me craz

INFINITEXI widened my eyes. “No way!” I replied, disagreeing. There is no way I am going to ask those boys to run for my fashion show. Not with that Hunter Looney. He had pestered me during my high school and college days. And that is enough for me.“But, Shan, that is all the options we’ve got,” Min told me.“How did that happen?” I asked. “Aren’t they joining the fashion show as well?” I asked again.Min and the rest shook their heads. “They are under another brand, so, no.” Min replied.I sighed. “I’m going to solve this,” I said as I went to my table and sat.Min walked to me. “Ashanti, we will still talk to InfiniteX if ever you will change your mind. Or if ever you won’t be able to look for a solution.” She told me.I sighed and nodded.She looked at me. “Don’t worry. W

THAT JERK“Good morning, Ashanti.” I snapped back as soon as I heard that familiar irritating voice. I swear to God I haven’t hated a person in my whole life as much as I hate this guy.I am not really a bad person but Hunter Looney is really the kind of person who would test my patience. He looked at me with a grin on his face as his members walked behind him.I rolled my eyes. What a jerk.“Aren’t you going to greet me good morning, too?” he asked me as he welcomed himself in the office.Min, who was standing by the door, was shocked to see situation. I guess I have to explain later.“What’s good in seeing your face?” I asked him as fiercely as I could.He smirked. “Then, morning is fine with me.” He snapped back.I rolled my eyes. “Talking to you isn’t even fine with me, jerk, how much more greeting you?”

SORRYJust as when the boys left, Kristoff entered the office with something unreadable in his face. He looked like he was mad but he was more worried than angry.“Ashanti,” he started as I went back to my chair.I looked at him as I sat. “What’s up?” I asked him, trying to act cool and normal.Kristoff gave me an apologetic look. “I’m sorry,” he said.I narrowed my eyes on him. “What are you apologizing for?” I asked innocently.He leaned on my table with his hands. “Don’t pretend you don’t know,” he said. “Chester told me everything.” He continued.I nodded. “It’s all under control now,” I replied as I planned on how to kill Chester and Genevieve later. “We have found artists to model already.” I added.Kristoff looked at me. I don’t know how to describe the look he ga

MARXThere is nothing you can do when your heart decides who to love. I remember my professor in Psychology say this. For once, I have believed that this quote is a positive thing. But when I finally knew about Kristoff’s feelings, I realized that I am losing in this.I love him.He doesn’t love me.I care for him.I don’t know if what he is doing is caring for me.He does things now that he doesn’t usually do for me before. I don’t exactly know if this is an improving affection but I can see that he is starting to change.Bit by bit.I just hope it’s for the best. Because it is hurting me too much, I can’t seem to handle anymore.I walked out of my room today, prepared to go to the office. I am planning to skip breakfast because I know how awkwardly I will act in front of Kristoff after that hug last night.Come to think of it, I did r

COMPARISONKristoff, Hunter and I entered the elevator. I don’t know why but I think there is an awkward atmosphere in the elevator. No. I think there really is. I could feel it radiating from the three of us.And you know what’s worse? Kristoff’ arm is wrapped around me and I can contain all my emotions. I am dying inside. I don’t know why but he seemed to be a bit protective of me in front of Hunter. It is weird. But is a good weird.This is the first time I have ever saw him come this close to me for the longest time.Hunter Looney, on the other hand, is really quiet. This is one of the rarest times that I will see him shut up and not pester me.Should I bring Kristoff all the time for him to stop bothering me?But then again, that would be hard on my part.“Wow. Hunter, you’re quiet,” I started to tease him as I looked at him.Okay, let me do thi

HIS FEELINGS“Okay. That’s all for today,” I told my employees as I closed the folder and ended the presentation I have been preparing for the past few weeks.The fashion show is just a day away and I am glad that everything is going well.I smiled at Min who waited for me at the door.“Congrats, Shan. You did it!” She beamed as I stopped in front of her. “Finally! Tomorrow, all your hard works will pay off!” She beamed excitedly.I chuckled and nodded. “It’s not just me though. It’s all of our hard works,” I replied. “We should all celebrate after the show!” I beamed as Min and I started jumping up and down in the office like we are some crazy fan girls going insane over the long-awaited comeback of Block V.We just stopped jumping when we felt really tired.“Okay. Let’s stop, I’m tired,” I said as we both

HANDSOMEMy world stopped the moment Kristoff’s lips landed on mine. I don’t know what to react. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what this means. I don’t know why he is doing this.What is he trying to prove?Kristoff eventually pulled away from me but his eyes were locked on mine. It’s as if he is going to tell me something. But he couldn’t say it in words.I snapped out of my thoughts. I can’t let my guards down at this moment. I can’t lose my sanity right now. Not with a kiss.Not with that kiss.Somehow, he must’ve noticed that I am thinking about what he is thinking, because, then, his hand slid to my hand, interlacing each of his fingers on mine.I bit my lip as I tried to suppress this growing feeling in me. All these emotions, I can’t contain each and every single one of them anymore.I stared at our hands bef

GOOD STRANGEI want to be in your fashion show right now. I almost choked on my husband’s text for me. What is he trying to do again? Why is he like this all of a sudden?I started to focus on the ramp again as I know my face is red now. Holy shizzles, with just that text, I don’t know what my heart is feeling right now.My mom nudged me. “Your husband texted us. He said he will pick you up after the fashion show for a celebratory dinner for you.” She smiled teasingly. “When did you two start to have dinner this way, honeybunch?” she asked med.I automatically blushed. “I don’t know, Mom,” I replied.One day, I woke up and Kristoff’s actions had become more vulgar—like he does seem to care so much for me.My parents smiled at me while Kris’ just gave me encouraging looks. I smiled back and exhaled deeply as I turned my attention
